SUMMER CAMP JOBS:
Being a counselor is no ordinary job and we are not looking to employ just ordinary people. When we hire staff for the summer we look for people that will form the foundation that we base our entire community on. We look for people that we believe would make strong, positive role models in the lives of our campers and be leaders and mentors within our small community.

The residential setting means that every choice you make will be observed and potentially replicated by the girls in your care. Do you feel that your behavior is role model worthy? We want counselors who are role models, but also not afraid to be silly and have fun! By applying to camp you are expressing an interest in helping children to develop in a caring, nurturing, and fun environment.

You will be giving up a great deal of privacy and comfort, working long and demanding hours, adhering to camp policies which you may find very limiting (curfews, time on, time off, lack of privacy, no smoking, no drinking alcohol, etc). We look for people who will not see this as a "setback" but rather as a "set up" for a great working environment.

If you believe that you have what it takes to lead and help shape the next generation of young women, then drop us a line or apply today.

CAMP SCHOLARSHIPS OR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE: Contact camp regarding any available camperships.

CAMP PROGRAM INFO: Active Learning Services, Ltd operates enrichment programs designed to stimulate creative thinking, improve thinking, logic and memory skills and give children "thinking alternatives" to sports camps and other summer programs. Our programs include chess programs and camps thru USA Chess, Our Gamebuilder Video Game Creation Programs and our Active Learning Computer Enrichment Programs.

Our staff is, comprised of the best children's chess instructors in North America! The USA Chess camps are uniquely qualified to cater to the needs of the advanced scholastic player as well as the true beginner. USA Chess hit its first milestone in the summer of 2000 producing the largest chess camp ever held in the United States, with more than 250 students enrolled. What was most surprising, however, was the amount of absolute beginners in attendance - more than 50% of the total enrollment was just starting to play chess. This realization led to the national rollout tour of 100 camps in more than 70 cities. The annual tours have been immensely successful with several thousand campers attending this year alone.

USA Chess thrives on providing a structured environment that is extremely conducive to learning chess. We handpick the best children's chess instructors from all over the United States and bring them to each camp. We believe our team is most effective in teaching chess to children of all ages and levels. The exceptional organization and ever-fun curriculum has fueled much interest from scholastic players and coaches from around the country, prompting them to request USA Chess camps in their areas.

At the same summer camp locations, we also offer the immensely popular Gamebuilder Video Game Creation Camps, The Active Learning Computer Animation Programs, and other Computer Enrichment Programs such as Modding, Networking and Hosting with Minecraft. We now offer seven unique programs in all.

At these camps, children are assigned a computer for the week; they spend the week learning to create their own one-of- a- kind video games in our Gamebuilder Camps, Animation Projects in our Animation Camps, also Modding, Networking and Hosting with Minecraft.

CAMP PROGRAM INFO: City Ballet was founded in 1991 with the philosophy of encouraging musicality, fostering creative expression, and teaching an appreciation of dance’s form and aesthetic. Its goal is to enable all students to experience the joy of dance and performance while attaining professional technique and style. Since its inception, City Ballet has been dedicated to training students in the Cecchetti Syllabus of classical ballet and remains the singular facility offering this method in the Triangle.

Classes are offered in ballet, pointe, modern, jazz, tap, and hip-hop. Additionally, numerous workshops are presented to expose students to different dance genres beyond the classical curriculum. City Ballet offers students the opportunity to perform in two full-length productions each year - The Nutcracker by audition and a spring recital.

The school also participates in festivals and workshops. Some of the most recent stage appearances include those at The American Heart Association’s Triangle Heart Ball, Festival of North Carolina Dance, AT&T’s Winterfest and Lafayette Village's Tree Lighting.

Preschool Dance is the beginning of a lifetime of dance appreciation. It is the essence of using imagination and exploration as building blocks for a dance foundation. Students focus on gross motor skills (skipping, hopping and jumping) through musicality and movement. City Ballet pays special attention to the needs and abilities of preschoolers by using theme-based lesson plans full of meaningful play. For more information, please visit Our Camp Website Link: city-ballet.com.

CAMP FACILITIES: Camp Highlander first opened its gates in 1957 and we’ve never looked back. That’s over six decades worth of life-changing summers! We have 34 beautiful cabins sprinkled out across Old Forge Mountain. The cabins are located in defined girls camp and boys camp areas of camp. Each cabin is equipped with two sinks, two toilets and two showers.

From opening day to final farewells, our campers enjoy so many exciting activities with their cabin unit that it’s hard for them to choose a favorite. Whether they are playing soccer on the land sports field, conquering the climbing wall, tubing down the Mills River, trying their hand at flint-knapping, or performing on stage during Highlander’s famous Evening Programs, our campers learn to accomplish their goals, discover new talents and, perhaps most importantly, work as a team – all while exploring the spectacular mountains of Western North Carolina.

As a cabin unit, campers participate in many adventures together both on and off-camp. Our cabin unit structure helps each camper feel comfortable enough to step outside their comfort zone and try new things. With their cabin mates and counselors by their side every step of the way, campers meet each challenge and triumph with unbridled encouragement, support and love. Our goal is that each camper would discover just how courageous they can be while enjoying a journey filled with personal achievements and unforgettable memories.

CAMP PROGRAM INFO: At Camp Highlander, we believe God has instilled in each one of us a desire to love and be loved. This is the motivation behind our mission — we love because God first loved us.

Through this love, we seek to build boys and girls of courage, honesty, integrity and faith, and to help them become all that God intends them to be. In all we do, from the social structure of camp to our programming, from opening day to closing day, we seek to uphold, promote, teach and exemplify these four core values.

Courage: Dare to be Brave
Courage is found within you and is realized through the support and love of those around you. Dare to be brave. Try new things. Stand by your friends.

Honesty: Speak Truth in Love
Be yourself. Honesty builds trust. Trust is the foundation of our family. Be kind to others; honesty is shown in our actions, not just our words. Speak truth in love to your neighbor.

Integrity: Respect Yourself, Others and Nature
Be strong. Integrity builds confidence. Lead by example. Win with integrity. Lose with integrity. Live a life of moral conviction, worthy of modeling.

Faith: Seek Truth and Believe
Never stop dreaming. Faith is the ability to receive, find and make meaning in our lives. Faith is being certain of what is not seen and sure of what we hope for.

Parents can choose an 8 day experience (Kick Off Camp), 13 days (Sessions A or B) or 16 days (Session C). We also have Family Camp options to help children acclimate to the idea of camp.

CAMP LEADERSHIP CIT/LIT PROGRAMS: Available to 17 year olds at Camp Ridgecrest for Boys. The SALT Program is for former campers or those new to camp who wish to be part of camp life, but more importantly seek to develop leadership, service, and discipleship abilities. SALT participants live together under the supervision of a director who is typically upperclassmen in college or a college graduate. Spaces are limited to 7-10 per session. Sessions last 4 weeks. The cost of the program is $800 (a quarter of what it would cost as a camper). This money goes back into the SALT program to pay for their trips, entertainment and basic needs in order to increase the quality of their time and training while at camp. The SALT program has three main components: service, discipleship, and fellowship. The camp administration sees this as a vital part of developing the long-term leadership of Camp Ridgecrest and beyond. SALT positions are typically given by Christmas.

CAMP SCHOLARSHIPS OR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE: Limited Scholarships are available. E-mail rscamps[AT]ridgecrestcamps.com to receive a Scholarship Application.

FAMILY CAMP SESSION(S): You have seen the life change in your campers after a 2 or 4 week experience with Ridgecrest Summer Camps. Now imagine spending a long weekend with your entire family at Camp! Stay together in a cabin with your own restrooms, and enjoy a weekend in the mountains. Swim as a family, play one of our famous Camp-Wide games, go hiking together, visit our crafts lodge or ceramics studio, enjoy fantastic food, sit by a campfire, rock in a rocking chair, shoot a rifle, or learn to shoot the bow and arrow. Family Camp will take place over Labor Day Weekend, August 31-September 3.

YEAR-ROUND PROGRAMS: We are creating a chance for you to share the Camp Ridgecrest experience with your son. Each summer at camp, your boy creates life changing memories and moments that help shape him into a Godly young man. We believe that it is important to provide dads with an opportunity to join your sons in this journey that can’t be replicated anywhere else.

Join us as we let "boys-be-boys" by playing hard, creating relationships, and experiencing God’s love in the middle of His creation. Dads, let us help set you up as the hero in your son’s life. Build your relationship through shared experiences that can only happen here.

Imagine you and your son Blobbing together, going off the zip line, down the slide, through the mud pit, up the climbing wall, around the campfire, down the trail, and in the cabin. Imagine playing Sockwar on the same team, throwing water balloons, going fishing, shooting a rifle or a bow and arrow. Imagine praying together, asking questions and actually getting answers.

Camp Ridgecrest is not simply a place where your boys can grow as individuals; it’s a place where you can grow together as a family. Father & Son Camp will take place August 24-26. Registration is open!

CAMP PROGRAM INFO: Our program is a balanced mixture of individual and team sports, nature, music, arts and crafts, high adventure and extreme sports. We value safety, respect and selflessness toward others. We work hard to maintain a well- rounded experience of health, fun and growth. Our camp leaders are guided to focus on the “teachable moment” – that time when a boy is enthusiastic, interested, searching for answers and having fun. We believe, and many educators agree, that more teachable moments arise during the long- term camping experience than during comparable stays at other types of educational institutions.

Camp Carolina is about adventure and meeting challenges head- on. It’s about the simple faith that anything can be accomplished through determination and enthusiasm. It’s about living fully, setting personal goals, making friends and enjoying accomplishments. Its mostly about fun – on the rivers, lakes, rocks, trails, courts, parks and fields, Our program is so diverse that boys can be successful here as long as they are willing to try.

CAMP FACILITIES: We have lodging for up to 180 people, a full-service cafeteria, swimming pool, lake for boating, fishing pond, hiking trails, full-size gym, game room, and multiple indoor and outdoor meeting spaces.

CAMP PROGRAM INFO: Our Summer Camp programs are designed as one-week residential camps for boys and girls ages 7-15. We offer six different weeks of camp, but it’s the same program, and all ages can come each week. The campers come to camp on Sunday afternoon and stay until Friday evening. They are assigned to a cabin group based on their age. Each cabin group will have 6-8 campers and one summer staff member called a Cabin Director. The Cabin Director stays in the cabin with the campers and provides leadership and supervision for that cabin group throughout the week.

Activities offered at our camp include hiking, swimming, boating, sports, crafts, games, teambuilding activities, rock climbing wall, and more. Additionally, older campers will have the opportunity to do our high ropes course, and younger campers will have a chance to visit a petting farm neighboring the camp.

Safety of our campers is top priority. We have trained lifeguards on duty for all waterfront activities, and all campers are required to wear life jackets while boating. During swim times, campers must remain in the shallow end of the pool unless they can demonstrate swimming proficiency by passing a swim test administered by the lifeguards.

Our Cabin Directors are hired through a diligent screening process. All Cabin Directors must complete a thorough job application and interview. We check several references and run a national criminal background history check on each applicant. Once hired, they undergo extensive, week-long training including certification in First Aid and CPR before they are put in charge of a group of campers.

It is our aim at South Mountain Christian Camp to nurture the faith of each of our campers. We do this through nightly chapel services which use creative teaching methods like skits, object lessons, and activities to teach campers what it means to have a relationship with Jesus Christ. Additionally, each cabin group will have a short Bible devotional time each morning while they are at camp.

At the end of the week, we have a baptism service for any camper who has accepted Christ as Lord and Savior of their lives and wishes to participate in the baptism service here. We never try to talk a camper into being baptized, and we make every effort to check with parents before allowing a camper to do so. However, when we are unable to reach parents by phone, we allow campers to use their best discretion when considering how their parents would feel about them being baptized at camp. For this reason, parents are encouraged to discuss this topic with campers prior to their week of camp so that they can understand and respect the parents' wishes.

CAMP FACILITIES: SOAR has two major Base Camp facilities: one in Balsam North Carolina where we have rustic cabins, a dining pavilion, on site showers/bathrooms, high and low ropes course, as well as several gathering campfire locations. The other is in Dubois Wyoming, where we have similar amenities as above except, this base camp is a working horse ranch!

CAMP PROGRAM INFO: Philosophy: SOAR believes all individuals identified with learning disabilities (LD) and attention deficit disorder (ADHD) possess inherent talents and gifts. These abilities can mean incredible success in adulthood once these students negotiate the challenging obstacles of childhood, adolescence, and a traditional education system, usually unable to respond to individual learning styles.

SOAR's programs are designed to allow students the opportunity to increase their independence while away from home. Independence is gained through self-motivation and life skills instruction. With this in mind, we involve our students in many decision making processes, such as setting individual goals, developing group guidelines, as well as trip and meal planning. Please view our website for further information at: Our Camp Website Link: www.soarnc.org or call our Admissions Office at 828-456-3435! Thanks, SOAR Admissions Team

Graduates will learn uniquely powerful meditation and breathing techniques, as well as tools to explore a deeper connection with themselves and the world around them.

These techniques bring an awareness to their lives, allowing them to manage stress in a healthy way, bringing confidence and self reliance. This will enable the young women to step into a empowered role in their own lives and in their communities.

CURRICULUM:

Our curriculum will focus on holistically nourishing the child and exploring boundaries outside of their comfort zone. In addition to providing participants with the YES! (Youth Empowerment Seminar) powerful breathing techniques and curriculum that uplifts human values and focuses on a healthy body, mind and lifestyle, we will bring awareness and open discussion for young women to explore issues they are currently facing in their own lives around body image, as well as social and societal pressures.

ART: We explore self-expression through artistic mediums; painting and pottery making. We bring attention to the present moment and tap into a creative part of ourselves that allows for healing and a deep learning.

NATURE: We will hike through the woods and down the mountain to a waterfall, connecting with nature and taking in all it has to offer. We will have evening campfires and share stories about life lessons over smores, building camaraderie through deep personal and authentic connection.

MUSIC: The girls will compose lyrics to a camp theme song that portray the vision they have for themselves and the world. They will have an opportunity to perform this song at the end of camp for a live audience.

HEALTH/WELLNESS: We will have a portion of the curriculum dedicated to body awareness and healthy body/mind relationships; exploring healthy eating and how to take responsibility for our own health by preparing organic homemade food. We will take a trip to the garden and explore sustainability, growing our own food and how to cook healthily by harvesting our own vegetables and then preparing the food together with cooking lessons where the girls learn how to be confident and independent in the kitchen maintaining a health conscious awareness.
